William H. Comely, one of the best known citizens of Madison county, and for many years a resident of this city, died at his home in Ennis Tuesday, March 21, 1916, of pulmonary abscess. The funeral was conducted from the city hall in this city yesterday afternoon, Undertaker R. R. Herndon having charge of arrangements and interment being made in Hillside cemetery.
For years Mr. Comley held a responsible position with the Buford Mercantile company in this city, where he was the owner of one of the most beautiful residences in town. He resigned his position with the mercantile establishment to accept the management of the large Valley Garden ranch on the Madison valley, where he remained with his family until an opportunity presented itself to become the owner of the Ennis hotel, which he acquired about three years ago and had conducted since that time.
Mr. Comley was born in Rutledge, Mo., April 3, 1869, and grew to manhood in that state, where he was married to Miss Nancy Buford. Two daughters, Mabel and Ted, and a son Francis, together with Mrs. Comley, survive him.
In Politics, Mr. Comley was a staunch democrat, had been a committeeman of his party a number of times and once was the democratic candidate for county clerk and recorder, but was unsuccessful in his campaign.
He was a gentleman who bore the highest respect of all citizens of the community and his taking away is universally deplored.
